Passing the Time: the Thread for Retired People

I love listening to bitter former tory voters complaining on Radio 4's consumer rights program about how the party they've voted for have deprived them out of the pension they were expecting and they are now going to have to wait a few more years for it. EAT IT and DIE you old selfish tory bastards!

I'm still working though I'm almost Aimless old.

I was wondering about clemenza's plan to move out of the city. Is this to live more cheaply or something you've always wanted to do? I used to think I'd do this but I like having so many things to do here, and I'm in a relatively low density area of the Los Angeles megaplex.

Enjoying the video's title "Passing the Time-Cream" which sounds like it could be a Tim and Eric bit.

85% to make money on the real estate transaction--I can get a bigger house (everyone who retires downsizes, but I've got lots of stuff I need more room for) for half of what mine is worth.

But I have steadily lost interest in Toronto the past decade. As I've said elsewhere, book/record/video stores are close to extinct (or, in the case of record stores, so expensive they may as well be). Traffic becomes more of a nightmare every year. I'll miss the many rep theatres and the documentary festival. And friends, of course. But if I end up where I want to, I'll still only be a two-hour drive away.
